I found a couple brand new in the box fish tank oxygen bubblers laying around the house and I remember seeing people use them for compost tea.
Is there any benefit whatsoever to mixing feed nutrients with the bubbler?

No expert, but oxygenating your water cant hurt, plus it seems like away of keep water agitsted and nutes mixed. Seems like win win.

Most of my girls eat independently however I do have a few girls that eat on the same nutrient EC numbers. I believe I’m mixing three or four gallons I’ll just throw the bubblers in there. Oxygen is a plant’s root systems friend

Using an air pump is good for teas, as it gives the microbial life oxygen, but using an air pump for stored nutes can pose pH issues. Oxygenating the water can cause pH to drift quickly. If you want to keep stored nutes mixed, a wavemaker is a better option, it only moves the water. Air pump with stones for teas all day long tho.
